An unbeliveable article regarding a young girl’s medical costs for a snake bite treatment in the USA.

Thank goodness for our world class medical facilities and Medicare in Australia.

Incredible. $143,000!
One really really really compelling reason to ensure we keep our public funded medical system and public control over our health services. Well, at least the level of control we still have?

P.S.
Please don’t tell my snakes, they might have a change of attitude and expect a cut of the profits. Currently they choose to run away and hide as a first response! Suits both of us just fine, except for the green tree snake who likes to show off first! All show and no bite.

Another consumer medical horror story in the US.

Once again, thank goodness for our world class medical facilities and Medicare in Australia where most tests are fre of charge to the patient.
